Journey Overview

#1 Pre-Appointment Questionnaire

To ensure enough time for questions and discussions, we ask you to fill out a simple questionnaire before your appointment.

#2 Consultation

We will begin by assessing your medical & sexual history, any symptoms you may be experiencing and discuss any questions you may have.

If you know exactly which tests you require and prefer to skip the consultation, you can choose our Drop & Go service to save on the consultation fee.

#3 Sample Collection

If it is still appropriate to proceed with the Scabies Test (and you would like to), we will take a scraping from the skin of the suspected areas.

#4 Receive Results

Your HIV-1 Viral Load test results are available within 7 working days. You can receive your results by either text or email (recommended).

We are able to offer you Scabies treatment in house. We may also be able to offer this to you before you receive your results to help with your symptoms.
